Editorial notes
What the Q list includes—and what it doesn’t.
Why is Q so short?
Card games starting with Q are genuinely rare. We would rather show five real entries than invent titles or count every edition separately.
Are board games with cards included?
Only when cards carry the central play. A board game that merely uses event cards is not automatically treated as a card game.
Is the list complete?
It is deliberately curated, not a claim to every historical or regional title. We add games when the basic facts and a useful source can be checked.
